THE MODERN GREEK.
Seen % Best Advantage not i'm Athens,
but in COnstantimOple.

From the Fortnghtly Review.
Nobody who has known Athens for long, or who
knows the real resources OF the country OF which
she is the capital, can be disappointed with the
progress made. Few cities have i'm roved more
during the last twenty years. The government
has introduced compulsory education on a most
extensive scale; railroads are being opened DRAIN
age and the planting or trees have received great
attention, and the sudden breeze OF patriotism
which has lately passed over Greece and puzzled
Europe will doubtless bear its fruits in greater
unity OF purpose. Perhaps the real evil which
moe than any hing else has checked the progress
of Greece during the last haf-century has been its
constitutional government.
There are many Cayours in Greece. Trtcoupis is
aCayoar with Enylses adess; but unfortaMateiy
has she yet produced Garibaldi. Everybody in
the small kingdom Is as OF od, q politician, and
me consequence OF thls Is that ministries rise and
fall, and elections take place with rapidity which
might even astonish US. The one point ON which
all Greeks are agreed, aDd which has been taught
them by late events is this, that II ever they are
TO hold their own in the Balkan peninsula they
must have more territory. They crave for the
fertile plains Of Eprus and Macedonia, for some
thing that Will give them chance or development
and the means OF existence on a large scale. The
place where the GreeH Is seen TO the greatest ad-
vantage is not at Athens, where mass meetings
will re day cheer for Delyannis and the next for
TrcOupls but at ConstantinOple. There he Is so
TO speak, on the fensive, living in the midst of
the great destroyer OF his race and freedom. Here
his commercial propenslties and industry have
brought MIN TO the fore.
The "Unspeakable Turk" who loves money, but
hates making IL as bitterly as he mates the Greek
who can make II, has given him In return for
money everything that he asks. This has enabled
The Greeks TO attack the Turks with the above
mentioned weapon or education. Concessions for
Greek schools all over the rotten empire have been
literally bOuyh.; there Is scarcely Greek village
In Macedonia, EplruS, the Islands and the coast
villages OF Asia Minor which has not been supplied
with schools for both girls and boys either through
the munificence OF rich Greeks or through the
clerical and InOnastic influence which In It's day
has played so valiant a part in the conservation
OF the Hellenic language and the Christian reli-

From the Tientsin Chinese Times
In Western lands 1t Is a proverbial saying Of one
who is peculiarly stupid that he does not 'sknow

contrary, the saying would be altered 30 as to

Phshisis and the HOuse-FIy.

From the Medical Record
The mosquitoes share in the economy OF nature

seems to bring out an interesting cutaneous erup-
ton, and reduce the price OF board in certain dis
tricts OF New Jersey. The house-1y, however, has
been credited with some general usefulness as

The word "bock," which is to be banished from
